Samsung TV, Headphone jack

I have a new Samsung model LE40B530 LCD television, I have looked around the set and in the manual and I cant find a socket with a Headphone symbol by it? does anyone know where I can connect an ordinary Headphone to the television thanks for any help cheers Jim

Maybe one of the other members may be able to offer a solution such as possibly connecting your TV to a stereo system and setting up headphones from there so that the Audio Out from the TV is guided to the Audio In to the Stereo System. Something like that. I usually have my kids do this for me haha!

Sorry I couldn't help you more.

If you think you might be infected with malware or have recently cleansed your computer of malware without the help of an expert, please read and follow the instructions in How to Start Removing Viruses and Spyware from your Computer.

If your telly is of modern design, look for a connection similer (well exactly like actually!) to the speaker socket found on your computer. That is, a hole with a green ring round it, usually found at the back or side next to the HDMI, scart and VGA connectors. This will take a standard headphone jack.

If your telly is of modern design, look for a connection similer (well exactly like actually!) to the speaker socket found on your computer. That is, a hole with a green ring round it, usually found at the back or side next to the HDMI, scart and VGA connectors. This will take a standard headphone jack.

I hope that MrDarn is correct concerning the hole with the green ring around it. I always try to find the simplest ways to make life easier with less worries. I had seen the comment in bold below in a review and assumed that was the only option.

2 things that may be an issue for people are:- only 1 scart socket,not a problem for me as i only have my PVR that uses scart and also no headphone socket, this was quite a big issue for me as i prefer using headphones for night time viewing, i just hooked up 2 analogue cables from the back of the tv to my hifi amp's aux input and plug headphones into my amp now, problem solved.

After MrDarn had posted, I felt that he may be right. Sometimes the guys do know more about connecting accessories. I did hope he was right, because I wasn't sure if you had a stereo system or not, and I sure was worried that you would have to go out and buy one adding another unexpected expense to an already tight budget.

And yes, keep us informed on how you get on!

Nice TV by the way.
